It has been a quiet week in Guadelupe. Yesterday we travelled to Zamora for our weekly grocery shopping. Today is Sunday and we are relaxing before 11:30 mass. Emmett will be reading at mass today, so we will arrive early for him to meet with Fr. Jorge to practice. As usual in Gaudalupe, our neighbors awakened early today. Roosters started crowing at dawn and our neighbor started hammering and using an electric saw at 7 am. Now, Latin rock music is playing in our neighborhood, which is a pleasant change. Kate is shopping for fruit and baking ingredients. In addition to the stores pictures below, many of the houses on the main street sell buns, candy, ice cream, snacks and some fruit and basic cooking supplies. Later today Emmett and I likely will watch Gaudalupe's adult soccer teams play neighboring town teams on a large outdoor soccer field (mostly dirt with no seats for spectators)
